Summary

This quote suggests that success, while it may boost one's confidence and provide a sense of accomplishment, does not necessarily lead to personal growth or wisdom. On the other hand, failure provides valuable lessons and insights, prompting individuals to reflect, learn, and make necessary improvements. Failing exposes one to reality and forces them to confront their shortcomings, making the experience more profound and enlightening. Therefore, failure is seen as a transformative and humbling journey, unlike success, which might only provide momentary fulfillment.
